COMMENTS: What a difference one game makes. We're back in this, mofos! The Dodgers, with fire in their belly and yearning in their souls, return to the field today after yesterday's 7-2 shellacking of Jamie Moyer and the Phillies.

But lest anyone get complacent, let's not forget one more Phillies win puts them a breath away from taking the series. The Dodgers trot out Lowe on three days' rest in hopes that he can sinkerball his way to his first NLCS victory; although Nomar Garciaparra performed admirably in his first playoff start this year, expect James Loney to start against the right-handed Blanton.

These lineup decision worries me, i guess Torre wants some hit and run, putting Pierre on the 8th slot, it could work with Furcal's speed, given Juan for four mode doesn't show up tonight. Other factor to be considered: Pierre has a successful experience in the playoffs.However, i'd rather have Kemp there, maybe the coaches want him to work out the causes of his slump.

Hello, boys and girls. I'm in a place where the only shot I have to watch this game is over "fox feeds" and a bad broadband connection. Not bad, but let's just say so far, the Dodgers have shown a pretty gritty performance....
